Description
This piece is a reworking of certain themes that emerge from my recent experience with the opera Die Judith von Shimoda. This way, characters reappear from the fore mentioned, questioning themselves and rethinking themselves, as well as harmonic elements linked to the bonsho bells, the sho instrument or the harmonic and inharmonic spectrum harmonies that define some of the characters.
The figurative staging that this piece possesses brings into dialogue elements from our own musical culture, such as those derived from the harmonic and inharmonic spectrum or the tempered hexachordal fields and, in the case of the oboe, multiphonic materials with sound materials from the bonsho bells, the sho and the melodic twists of old popular songs that served as a symbolic reference for me, and in some cases tangible, for the composition of Die Judith von Shimoda and Seven Japanese Sketches.
In this way, the harmonies that include micro-intervals present in the piece, all have a specific origin related to these sources, although they have been adapted to the quarter tone, in order to make their interpretation more accessible.
For oboists and quartets unfamiliar with such intervals, an alternate tempered intonation version of some of the pieces is included. This serves as a substitute, although in my opinion it loses some of its original color, mysterious and deep at the same time.
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
